Calculations for Masters in Architecture Students

We have made some calculations to help you see the different options and the overall costs for food and accommodation during the course.

All Sustainability in Energy Provision and Demand Management students need to purchase the ‘CAT-in-a Box’ package of technical materials to assist with hands-on practical activities at a distance or when not at CAT, e.g. for their dissertation research.

This comprises programmable data logging and monitoring equipment to enable students to log and analyse real renewable energy data at home, in work or out on trips as part of the course.

Full training will be given during the November core module and support is available throughout the course.
The cost is estimated at £500, and is payable at the same time as payment is made for the core September module week. You should be aware that there may be additional import duties and sales taxes related to shipping for international students.

Student Finance England & Wales Loans

For students to be eligible for this funding, they must be studying a course that is designated annually by the Department for Education. We have made an application for our courses to all be designated for the 2019-20 academic year and we expect this process to be completed in early 2019. Watch this space.

Postgraduate Loan

MSc & MArch students may be eligible for a Postgraduate Loan to cover both tuition fees and living costs via Student Finance England or Student Finance Wales (MSc students only).

These loans are currently only available for people who are normally resident in England or in Wales. Unfortunately, Scotland and Northern Ireland have confirmed that they are not currently offering postgraduate loans for courses from alternative providers like CAT.

The Sir John Houghton Bursary

Thanks to a generous donation from Sir John Houghton, CAT is able to offer an annual bursary of £4,500 to a promising postgraduate student who demonstrates that they have an excellent academic record and a passion for tackling climate change.

Sir John has had an illustrious career as one of the world’s most eminent climate scientists, including being co-chair of the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Scientific Assessment Working Group and a former Chief Executive of the Met Office.

A long-term supporter of CAT's work, Sir John says:

"I have spent a lifetime studying the atmosphere and the climate and latterly have been concerned with the reality of human induced climate change. I now want to help the next generation tackle this serious problem, possibly the biggest the world faces."

The deadline for applications for 2019 entry is 12:00GMT (midday) on Monday 17th June 2019.
